    help me identify bird and eggs

    I live in the North Central part of Texas (Dallas/Ft. Worth).  We have a bird nest in our front entry just outside our front door in an old decorative yard fountain. It is a bowl shape with twigs, pine needles and leaves.  The bird flew out and perched on the wall and I got a look...it was about 5-7 inches (maybe fit in my hand), it was grayish with a light yellow belly...I think.  There are about five eggs about 3/4 inch in length.  They are white with a band of reddish dots around the center and scattered over the rest of the egg.  If anyone might know what kind of bird I am talking about, that would be great.  We are very excited to watch what happens!  Thank you!
